Oneida,My apologies. The drums have indeed been heard and have scared the flamingos away. The horse is not at hand; seems he is held up and bogged down under the weight of delivering the extra bag of extra-fine cornmeal promised by the Mochicaan Bountyess to the Vanderheyden's Ferry. Should he be called back? Is the war party done? Has the Le Longue Carabine subdued the warring factions?Need to make sure my horse is safe!CH
